Biography

Not long after the release of Electric Light Orchestra's first album, Wood found himself frequently at odds with co-leader Jeff Lynne. After increasing personal and musical differences it became clear that both could no longer work together in the same group, so Wood left, taking band members Bill Hunt (keyboards and french horn) and Hugh McDowell (cello), as well as ELO's sound engineer, Trevor Smith, with him, to form Wizzard. Also in the line-up were former Move bassist Rick Price, drummers Charlie Grima and Keith Smart (all formerly of Birmingham group Mongrel), and saxophone players Mike Burney and Nick Pentelow (the son of actor Arthur Pentelow). Prior to the recording of the band's second album, Introducing Eddy and the Falcons, McDowell left and was not replaced, and during the recording of the album Bill Hunt also departed and was replaced by Bob Brady (also from Mongrel). Prior to the recording of the band's final album, 2000's Main Street, in 1975, drummer Keith Smart departed the band and was not replaced.

Love So Right

She came on like the nightand she held on tightAnd the world was rightwhen she made love to meWe were freeShe moved in like a friend, started loving meAnd I thought I'd found my heaven in her armsBut the morning when I woke upI was here and she was goneNow I'm hanging onMaybe you can tell me(chorus)How a love so rightcan turn out to be so wrong?Oh my darlingHow a love so rightcan turn out to be so wrong?Where did she go when I need her close to meAnd the perfect story ended at the startI thought you came foreverand you came to break my heartNow I'm hanging onon the chance that you'll come back to me(chorus)I could take it in my strideStart living for the momentMaybe half the things we sought were never thereSimply open up our eyes and break it down to sizeIt isn't really fair(chorus)
